Can't activate my service

published

Same as many here, can't activate my service, waiting over 3 weeks for my number to be ported, on hold for hours on end, they don't answer calls. Paid for a 12 month service and they cannot provide the service I paid for. I can't even ask for a refund. I see the standard cut and paste COVID-19 responses but it doesn't cut it. Online businesses are thriving, why won’t Kogan even answer the phone? Aussies should not waste their money here.

The phone number you provided goes unanswered, I am unable to activate my account so dialling 12612 is useless. I just want a refund, how can I get my money back? I paid over $270 for 12 months and Kogan can’t provide what I paid for

Can't port number, can't contact them - absolute rubbish!

Product is only as good the available support -

published

I've been on hold for the last 4 hours today waiting for an assistant to take my call on an unresolved issue that occurred 1 week ago. It has been a similar experience now every day for the past week with no resolve. There is no other way to contact them, no email contact, no ability to leave a voice message. The only other support on offer is a number of web pages with answers to commonly asked questions which are totally useless when the solution requires a live technician's intervention. What a total waste of time. I'm now looking at my rights as a consumer for a pro-rata refund on my pre-paid service.

Horrible - borderline scam

published

I have wasted six hours of my life now trying to get into contact with a customer service team member. I paid $299 for the 365 day package and the sim. 16 days have passed by and my number has still not ported and they are not picking up to find some solutions for me. On top of that, I checked my account today and they've used up 16 days on my plan. How are you going to start my plan when my number hasn't even been updated???!

You’ve given the exact same copy-paste response to 20 odd unsatisfied reviewers below me. I highly doubt you’ll be doing anything about it.

Horrible Customer Service

published

I've been waiting for almost 3 hours on hold and still no reply. I don't get how a professional company such as Kogan is having such bad customer service. I just want to sort out my porting but they require a text back from my SIM with no credit.

Ombudsman case now for 4.95

published

Crap customer service- they took 3 weeks to do a port that i ended up cancelling as i was charged for another month with old provider- spent 14 hrs on hold and never answered. Finally 5 weeks after have an email reply- and despite having given my card details, ph num, dob, name and address they refused to refund me my $4,95 as i couldn't give a PIN to them- mind you- it was never set up as transfer wasn't completed- now i have had to go to the Ombudsman TIO for a measly $4.95- its the principle.

Pathetic- do not use them

No customer support AT ALL!

published

I am on a 365 day plan. With a few good months still left, I am unable to make outgoing calls. No data.

I tried calling customer support past few days waited for more than an hour every time. No response. No email address to write to.

Not sure what Kogan is expecting me to do now. Only option now left is find a different provider. Thanks Kogan!

Call Centre Terrible. Compared to Catch with instant reply / feedback during this Covid19

published

Called once. 1hr on the phone, can't get hold of anyone.
Called twice, another 1hr + on the phone, can't get hold of anyone.
Called third time, another 1hr + on the phone, still can't get hold of anyone.
Called fourth time, 2hr 39min, still can't get hold of anyone.

Sent Kogan.com an email, told me to call the customer service line.
Sent Kogan.com FB messenger a message, told me to call the customer service line.

Covid19 not really an excuse since I tried contacting Catch to ask if Kogan has requested for the port, and they replied instantly.

Totally irresponsible about mobile service customers

published

I started the port out from my previous service provider to Kogan Mobile a week ago. I received an email saying my port in has been initiated. I called to the center as the service did not got started for an hour without any answer. Now I am out of service and don't know if I can port my old number to other service providers coz its uncertain when Kogan will be back. It all seems so irresponsible leaving people stranded without any help. Nor the business have announced anything regarding these sim activation issues.

I have been with Kogan for over a year now, last night I paid for a recharge as my plan was to expire. Since that time, as soon as Kogan had my payment I have been unable to make a call or send a text. Extremely unfortunate as I have elderly parents whom I need to check on daily.
After an hour and a half on hold, I received the following advice; "turn off and on, take out the sim, that's all I can do for you as everything seems okay at this end." In other words, we have your money so we don't really care, that is just rude...customer service, what's that?
Meanwhile, I am out of pocket. Somebody please reassure me that you do care about your customers!
